Björk – Who Is It? Lyrics 19 years ago
He demands a closeness
We all have earned a lightness
So carry my joy on the left
Carry my pain on the right

The difference between these actual lyrics and the posted lyrics is essential to it's meaning. "I" don't solely carry my joy and pain, it is shared with that person or community of persons and therefore the heavy burden of pain is lessoned - we have EARNED a lightness through opening up to being close with another.
